The Fall of the Euro

by Charles Mudede • Mar 2, 2010 at 8:00 am

Now is a good time to visit Europe:

The euro has fallen to its lowest level against the dollar for 10 months amid continuing concerns over Greece's debt crisis.

Persistent worries over its 300bn- euro ($419bn; £259bn) debt has weighed on the European single currency.

The euro traded at $1.3436 in late morning, its lowest since May 2009.
